Saco Drive-in

Went to my first drive-in tonight. It was in Saco, only a few miles from my house. Breanne and I were buying some plants today and going to Martel's and we happened by the Saco Drive-In and remembered we'd planned to go there some time. Tonight they were playing Land of the Lost and one of the Fast and Furious movies. I'd been wanting to see Land of the Lost as it was a favorite TV show of mine when I was little so we decided to go.
We bought some kettle corn and a couple of Arnie Palmers at Hannaford and headed over. It cost 14 bucks to get in (that's for a car of two, it's 3 dollars for each extra human) and the guy in the booth told us we had to park beyond the 3rd row because we had four-wheel drive.
The parking area was grass moguls slashed with gravel paths for driving on. There were already 40 or so cars in the lot and we picked a spot near the middle of the fourth row from the screen.
After 30 minutes of so, listening to Ian Kinsler wallop a ball into the Monster seats for a 3-run homer, it was dark enough to start the movie and we tuned our radio to 88.1 to get the audio signal.
The movie was OK. It had some funny lines and Will Ferrell was amusing. I thought his trailer trash sidekick, I forget his name, was funny. I think he was in Tropic Thunder. The special effects were pretty fantastic though I wish we'd had 3-D glasses. It looked like some of the dinosaurs and maybe the giant crab were in 3-D. I remember liking the TV show more, though chances are it wasn't any good. My poor eyesight made it difficult at times and Breanne and I decided next time we'd drive the PT over and park closer to the screen.
After the movie Breanne walked over to the concessions and found a bathroom. She said the restrooms were clean and the concessions had a lot of choices. We didn't stick around for the Fast and Furious movie. We're hoping that soon they have a double feature which includes two movies we wouldn't mind seeing. All in all it was a cool experience and I wish they'd had one in Gardiner when I was growing up.
